novelxo Chapter 1005 I Know Him Better!
Lara started to tell everyone about this weird place. Such a fort was abnormal, and the fact that it didn't match any record mentioned about it made Lara quite pessimistic about it.
The reaction from the city leaders was quite expected. They asked her to make sure this wasn't another place than the one mentioned on the map. And when she confirmed, they asked about how they reached there.
She explained to them that Thomas specified lots of places where the five traitors went to frequently and visited. When the leaders heard that, they started to grow suspicious of their long-time friends and allies.
Having such a place secretly built here, while silencing any news about it was very suspicious. And when they heard about how strongly fortified this place was, they became wary of that zone.
It was close to the city, and yet the city leaders and masters never learnt about it. From the look of it, and from what Lara described in great detail to them, everyone knew this area took a long time to get built.
"They ask us to wait until they'll confront the traitors," Lara turned after a few minutes towards her friends, "and they'll gather a grand army, and send it here to claim this area for us."
"What will William say?" Sara and others didn't put what the city leaders thought in their eyes in the first place. They only cared about their boss, their most trusted and capable friend, William.
"Well… I'll inform him now," Lara felt a little embarrassed when she said these words. And the response she got was enough to make her feel more nervous.
If anyone else of these friends was in her shoes, they'd instantly inform William first. As for the city leaders, their opinion didn't matter in the first place.
Waiting to confront the traitors? Waiting to gather up an army? Everyone here mocked such a lame and lazy decision from these leaders. They all knew what William would say, and expected what was going to happen.
"We are going to have fun, at last, with him, hahaha!" Ro couldn't control her excitement, while everyone else chuckled and few even laughed.
"What are you talking about? I haven't contacted him yet!" Lara felt weird from their reaction and comments. And her words invoked a wave of laughter at her.
"You still don't know him," Sara shook her head, before puffing her chest and added, "I bet on anything that he'll get riled up, ask us to wait until he'll come here. Then we all will go into that place, rampage through everything, and he won't stop until he gets what he wants."
"That's true, that's what he will say and do," Berry nodded as well, supporting her long-term rival and friend, "waiting for those leaders to deal with the traitors? Waiting for an army to gather? Waiting isn't an option for William!"
"Yes, that's how the boss will do it!"
"That's our boss, not a wait guy, but a man! That's why I admire him the most!"
Lots of friends started to speak up their minds, leaving the newly joined Lara, Anjie, and Karoline a bit speechless.
But when they recalled the short-term period they had with him, they couldn't help but notice this pattern. And when they realised how they didn't know him quite well, especially Anjie and Lara, they felt unexplained sadness in their hearts.
"We'll see…" Lara refused to admit her defeat in front of the two girls and relayed the news to William.

William was already in the middle of making new of his monstrous weapons. He fixed the ones damaged and already finished making two of his weapons.
Using his enhanced power, and with the endless supply of materials here, doing this was going much smoother than he thought. He didn't just repair the two weapons but enhanced their fighting abilities as well.
In the middle of doing that, he kept making more of his grenades, enhancing them a little bit as well.
He used grenades a lot recently, as they were quite deadly and helpful. He loved the way to arm the arrows with them and dreamt about the day he'd have an entire army armed up with his arrows and grenades.
Such an army wouldn't get stopped by anything. But to make these, he needed lots of materials, mostly precious.
This wasn't the case when he randomly came up with the theory to make these before. Back then, he used common materials as time was tight and he wasn't sure of the end result. But now he started to up the game, using lots of precious and rare materials to greatly enhance their explosive firepower.
In addition to the rarity of these materials, he needed lots of time to make them. So he knew he'd place part of his time after returning to the Scorching Lands city to make these grenades and other war supplies.
In the middle of doing all this, he received Lara's message. He heard what she said, and couldn't help but have his eyes shine brightly in excitement.
"Wait there, I'll come and check it myself," as everyone expected, he was coming, and he intended to play it big this time.
"He said he'll come, right? Hahahaha! I knew it! That's my man, hahaha!" Just from the weird reaction on Lara's face, it was clear to everyone else what William said. And that invoked Berry's laugh, and then many laughed as well.
Lara didn't say anything, and looked around before Anjie helped her from such an awkward situation, one that she'd face if she was the one handling things instead, "Let's help him then, let's scout the entire place and gather as much intel as we can."
As she proposed, everyone got hyped up and started to move. They didn't separate, fearing to meet any patrol teams, ones that would prove hard to conquer, or took a long time to take down. They didn't want to alarm the forces inside that fort, or else their fate would be expected.
